In life lately i've tried to find those things that i love, those things that i can be passionate about and honestly, i've hard a hard time. I want to just love something, something that is such a part of me, and i'm not talking about loving my husband or my family but i'm talking more about a hobby of somesort, something i could just do and something that i love to do. Well, here's my list of things i love
1.I've been to 2 of the USU Gymnastics meets this last weekend and i've come to the conclusion that i LOVE gymnastics, i wish i would have stuck with it as a kid but i just love it
2. Soccer's another thing that i love, its fun, and i could watch it whenever.
3. I love the summer, i love everything about it, i love boating, skiing, wakeboarding, tubing, cliff jumping, sunbathing, snokeling (thanks to Jay), i love being in the mountains in warm weather, and i love sitting on our front or back porch and not being cold, having a BBQ and enjoying ourselves, i love that.
But so many of the things i love aren't things that are even possible to do at any given time. I hope to someday find something that i truly love to do, and could do whenever i had nothing else to do but in the meantime, i'll envy my husband, he loves to do so many things, he could shoot his bow all day long and absolutly love it, he could ride his motorcycle and never get bored, he could hike aorund in the foothills or mountains and never even feel tired but just love it. I guess i've yet to learn a few things from my husband.....and i'm thinking thats probably a good thing. But if any body out there has some ideas for me of things that i can do, in the winter time, in Logan UT without a sewing machine, let me know ;)

i've been thinking about knitting lately... wanna join?
I love going out to eat and eating really gourmet food! you should try it...there is no down side to eating.
Good luck finding a passion!
you can always cook or bake, like Julie said. that's a passion of mine, or maybe it's eating what i bake, either way...it's great!
Elise, I have a sewing machine, its just sitting in storage. It might be handy to have in close by incase I needed it and if you're willing to give it a home for awhile, you could sew or quilt!
Nat! I would LOVE to borrow your sewing machine!! I'll talk to you about this later ;)
When you have children you will be. In the meantime, I think it is a good idea to sew. I also have a sewing machine that my Danish friend just fixed. Maybe I should start making things. You could learn how to make wheat bread with your mixer or other gourmet food.Take lots of pic and make videos or slide shows.
I know, write my history.
One thing I love, and that I loved doing a lot when I was first married was playing my mine and Jacob's music collection. I went through all his CDs and all of mine and I ripped them all to the computer and organized folders and then I went through it all and made mix CDs, because face it, usually when you buy a CD it is for one or 2 songs. Anyway, I made mix CDs that we could listen to while we were driving and stuff (we had to share a car for the first couple of years) and I called them "The Ultimate mix" 1-4. Then after a while I found new songs I loved downloaded them, or realized I didn't like all the songs on the ultimate mix as much as I though so then I made the Premium Refined Ultimate mix 1-4. Anyway, that was the start. I also compiled folders of different genres, like love songs and happy songs, and dance music, and then I made a halloween mix 1-3 and a thankful mix for thanksgiving with songs about being food or thanking someone. Anyway, it's been a blast and has kept me occuopied off and on ever since I've been married, and I can do it any time I have the time to do it. Lately I've been making different "Lullaby" mixes for my daughter.
Anyway, it's an idea.
In the winter you might try the joy of surrounding yourself with ORDER - explore different ways to display things you love, cool ways to containerize your household things. Plan and organize your summer (half the fun is the planning and dreaming about it).
